Chicago's Meeting on the Internet

My own take: Excellent job. It lays out (strongly) the dangers that are inherently part of the internet, particularly to children, then discusses what parents should and must do in striking a balance of trusting children while monitoring what goes on in their lives. It was informative, educational, and most importantly, practical. It didn't ignore the realities of 21st century technology nor pretend that a ban could somehow make the problems go away. It didn't make up statistics or exaggerate the dangers, nor denigrate the positives and often necessity of having the internet. I just read through the entire thing; I'd suggest to everyone - particularly parents - to do the same.

SerandEz leans toward current issues - from politics to the Jewish community - with sports, Israel, and even Judaism thrown in. Add some comedy, fun, my own thoughts, and a bunch of my friends, and voila! SerandEz! I hope people are getting something out of it, even if it's just an interesting idea or a quick smile. Enjoy! ~ Ezzie Goldish
